Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed Senate Bill 414 - Dentists and Dental Hygienists - Licensure — Examination
Requirements.

This bill requires a dentist or dental hygienist licensed in another state and who has
met specified requirements to be granted licensure in Maryland.

House Bill 334, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 414.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.

Governor

Senate Bill No. 414

AN ACT concerning

Dentists and Dental Hygienists - Licensure - Examination Requirements

FOR the purpose of altering the examination requirements for licensure as a dentist
or dental hygienist for dentists and dental hygienists licensed in another state;
